The woman had given the couple's three-year-old daughter and
four-year-old son rat poison and an unidentified pink liquid before
smothering them and killing them, court papers said.

She then tried to take her own life, the NSW Supreme Court was told.

February 19 last year.

She has pleaded not guilty to the two murders by reason of mental
illness.
